“Job's words mean … "It is likely you have suffered the same in many things." Truth, however, is always hateful to many. Therefore, you despise my words of truth. "You do not come down to me," Job says, "nor do you speak about the gifts of grace like people who desire to encourage. On the contrary, you accuse me openly…”
Olympiodorus of Alexandria, 6th c. — COMMENTARY ON JOB 6:24-27

23Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
24Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
— Job 6:25 —
26Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
27Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
